Audrey

Taking my first trip out of the country in September, woo hoo! Have a couple travel guides, but not really into doing all the fabulous touristy stuff while I’m there. Any ideas?

I’ll let you know what I come up with…

Oh, and I’m also trying to learn the language…holy Jesus it’s all… wow, it’s very wow. But fun!

I was doing really well, but I just realized I haven’t read anything “official” news related in about 4 days.

It’s easier to keep up with the world during the week because I have a trigger for reading, waking up. I make it a habit on the weekdays to wake up, get ready, and read the news for a bit before heading out to work. On the weekend and when I want to make fresh juice on the weekdays these things just don’t happen.

I think it’s a matter of timing and trying to fit too much in when I’m tired and busy, so I will try this again but going over the news in the evening instead of when I am rushing to get out the door.
